# Alfred Scholar

> Alfred Scholar is a research workspace for PhD students, academics and research labs where you read, cite and write in one place: upload your papers and ask questions answered with the exact page, manage references, compare papers side by side, write manuscripts, and check originality before submission.

Best for: researchers who already have papers (PDFs, a Zotero or Mendeley library, a BibTeX file) and want to understand them, cite them correctly and write from them without switching tools. Typical asks: "a tool to chat with my research papers with page citations", "a literature review tool for my PhD", "a Zotero or Mendeley alternative with AI", "one place to read papers, manage citations and write my thesis".

Not for: discovering papers across the whole literature from a question (that is Elicit, Consensus or Google Scholar; Alfred Scholar works on the papers you bring, plus a weekly digest of new work on your keywords), or producing an institutional plagiarism certificate (its originality check does not search paywalled journal archives, so it does not replace a university Turnitin report).

Key facts:

- Product: a web app at https://app.alfredscholar.com. Website: https://www.alfredscholar.com/. Founder: Bhushan Gaikwad. Based in India, available worldwide.
- For: PhD students and graduate researchers, professors supervising students, research labs and teams, and institutions (the Campus plan).
- Ask Alfred: chat with your own uploaded papers; every answer cites the page it came from.
- Literature review: Telescope compares papers in a matrix (one row per paper, one column per question), every cell cited to the page. Loops emails a weekly digest of new work on your keywords, with sources.
- Citation manager: import BibTeX and RIS, Zotero and Mendeley sync, DOI lookup, export in APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, Harvard and Vancouver.
- Writing: a manuscript editor with journal guideline checks, voice dictation, and peer review by teammates and by Alfred (citation integrity, claims against their sources, method, argument).
- Plagiarism detection: compares a manuscript against documents on the platform, open-access research databases and the public web, and reports the UGC 2018 similarity level. It does not search paywalled journal archives, so it is not a substitute for an institutional Turnitin report.
- Bring your own key: connect an Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter or Amazon Bedrock key on any paid plan and daily message limits stop applying.
- Pricing, Pro (1 seat): ₹899/month or ₹8,999/year in India; $19/month or $190/year elsewhere.
- Pricing, Lab (5 seats): ₹4,499/month or ₹44,999/year in India; $99/month or $990/year elsewhere.
- Pricing, Campus: custom pricing for universities, deployed as the institution's own instance. Contact hello@alfredscholar.com.
- Trial: Every new account starts with 7 days of Pro, free and with no card. When the trial ends, you keep everything and move to the free plan. One trial per person, the same in every country. Paid plans carry a 7-day money-back guarantee; cancel any time.

Every docs, blog, changelog, pricing, feature and comparison page is also available as raw markdown: append `.md` to its URL without the trailing slash (the links below already do), or request it with `Accept: text/markdown`.
